Every year, we come up with resolutions for our personal lives, but what goals do we set for our homes?
As we welcome the New Year and a new decade, we've come up with three resolutions that will make your home more appealing, functional, and organized in the coming year.
1. Streamline the Stuff
One of the most effective ways to breathe new life into your home is to release the things that do nothing more than take up space. The New Year is the perfect time to clean out your closet, declutter your pantry, empty the junk drawer, and clear the counters.
We've written on this topic plenty of times before, so if you're struggling with where to begin, start here:

2. Work out a Weekly Cleaning System
If you're tired of watching your laundry pile up to the ceiling and your dirty dishes stack up in the sink, put an end to the crush for good! By implementing a weekly cleaning schedule, you can stay on top of all the household chores with just a few 15-minute tasks a day.
Use the following schedule from Apartment Therapy as a starting point and customize as you see fit:
Monday
Vacuum bedroom carpets
Wash bathroom towels
Clean common area floors
Tuesday
Master bathroom
Monthly to-do
Dust surfaces and clean glass doors
Wednesday
Clean common area floors
Outside pruning, sweeping, etc.

3. Finish Those Home Improvement Projects
Home improvement projects can drag on, and the costs can add up. If you have plans to renovate your kitchen, build your dream walk-in closet, or finally create a functional mudroom for your home, don't procrastinate any longer. Make 2020 the year your plans become a reality! Before starting your renovation, consult a professional to help you get the job done.
